Terri Lyne Carrington

GRAMMY® Award-winning drummer, producer, educator, activist, NEA Jazz Master, and 2019 Doris Duke Award recipient, Terri Lyne Carrington + Social Science celebrate the release of their new album Trip The Night Fantastic. With technical wizardry and profound creativity, Terri Lyne Carrington, has become one of the giants of today’s jazz music. She is the first female artist to ever win the GRAMMY Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, which she received for her 2013 work, Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue. Over the four-decade-plus span of her career, she has played with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Lester Bowie, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Stan Getz, Al Jarreau, John Scofield, Pharoah Sanders, and Esperanza Spalding among countless other jazz luminaries.

GRAMMY®-nominated and award-winning artist, Debo Ray is a powerhouse vocalist and charismatic storyteller that connects deeply with her audience both on and off stage. Blending the soulful richness of R&B with cross-genre influences, her sound reflects the depth of her artistry and the vibrancy of her spirit. On stage, her radiant energy transforms every performance into an immersive, unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impression long after the music ends.

With her sultry, soulful flare and cutting-edge compositions, D.C.-based vocalist Christie Dashiell is armed with her distinctive and powerful voice and her serious chops as a jazz improviser and bandleader. As a member of Afro-Blue, Howard’s premier vocal jazz ensemble, Dashiell appeared on NBC’s “The Sing Off.” She has twice received recognition in DownBeat Magazine’s Student Music Awards as Outstanding Soloist and Best Vocalist in the Graduate College division. Her second album, Journey in Black, received a GRAMMY® nomination in 2025.
